Chapter 543: Difficult Decision (1/2)
”Although you cannot sense the breakthrough, it is important that you keep gathering energy.”
Lan was looking at the frustrated expression on Xue Wei's face as he once again had spent a whole day cultivating with no signs of breaking through to the next realm.
Xue Wei, who had been feeling listless, looked at Lan, waiting for him to explain what he meant.
”As I said before, the King rank is not one where you can enter just due to you amassing Qi to no ends. When you go from having a mortal body to having a spirit body, you will be reborn. While it is a higher realm, it is also considered a reset. Everything you have gained prior to this rank will be washed out, and you will have to start all over, in a way.
”This does not mean that the energy you are gathering now is useless, quite the opposite. There are even some who wait with breaking into the King rank for the sake of gathering as much Qi as possible before the breakthrough.
”The spirit body depends on the heaven and earth energy to be created. The more energy your body contains during the process of the recreation, the more powerful your spirit body will become. While it is somewhat annoying to continue gathering Qi, and not feel an advance in strength, you have to look at it as an investment.
”Many skip the process of gathering Qi before the breakthrough, as they feel that it is a wasted step, but it is extremely important. Also, you should have noticed this already, but it is impossible to have a normal breakthrough.
”The most suited way to break into the King rank is by stimulating your body, and triggering the soul to recreate your body.
”Most will try and find someone to battle, in an attempt at experiencing some threat to their lives, and then burst out with their potential, making them break through to the next realm.
”You are in a different situation. I would consider you both lucky and unlucky. Fortunately, you are in a position to continue absorbing Qi to solidify your foundation, but you are also not able to break through anytime soon due to the lack of beasts in the Ghost Realm.
”If you wish to break through, you will have to fight against ghosts, and with our current high-profile display, that would be extremely risky.”
Lan shook his head as he finished his explanation. He glanced at Xue Wei, who was deep in thought, but he said no more. He knew that he had already explained the situation clearly, now it was up to this young man whether he wanted to risk his life and find a ghost to stimulate him so that he could break through swiftly, or if he wished to keep cultivating, and wait with his advance.
